I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope they'll be okay

That is terribly sad...RIP to the people that lost their lives.

I pray they will make it through this horrible tragedy!May the ones that perished RIP.

This is sad, hopefully Travis and DJ AM are going to be alright. To the ones who passed RIP

This is so sad..

I just read that Travis is burned badly from the waist down and DJ AM's face and upper body was burned as well as both of their hands where they attempted to put the fire out on themselves as well as each other and tried to remove clothes that were on fire.

There are also false rumors that Travis has since died.. sick people playing games!

Just horrible!!

Really sad. Hopefully Travis Barker and DJ AM will make a full recovery.

i hope the very, very best for their recovery. they are so lucky to have survived the accident, but being burned badly is a tough thing to recuperate from.

R.I.P to the ones that were lost.

Travis Barker = MY CELEBERITY CRUSH -drools- anyways...

I hope ADAM AND TRAV IS OK

This is so terrible. Prayers to all involved. Hope they both make as full a recovery as possible.. especially Travis since he has kids. =( So sad to hear about this!

When I read this this morning I almost fell out of my chair.. I think Travis is SOOOOOO talented.. I hope him and Adam are going to be okay! and so sad for the ones that lost their lives..

This is so sad.

This is so sad.I read on TMZ that Travis's bassistant died in the crash and he was a newlywed with a newborn.My prayers go out to all of them.

This is so sad.I read on TMZ that Travis's assistant died in the crash and he was a newlywed with a newborn.My prayers go out to all of them.

Deepest sympathies to the families who lost loved ones.
Thoughts and prayers for full, speedy recoveries to the injured.

From the amount of burns the reports say those two have, it will probably be a long, very painful healing with a lot of bad scarring, but it's amazing they survived at all. The latest report says they are both in critical condition.

Sorry the other 4 lost their lives.

So very sad. Sympathy to all.

Talked to a nurse at the burn center...

get well. Private planes are so scary

i read about this on MSN first thing this morning and it's really horrible news. i hope that we're able to get more information on their status soon. it's scary to think that they were in a crash and i hope that they are doing better and gaining strength after being so severely burns. thank you for sending the information for the burn center, so that can send our support and sympathies. i'm sure that they will be moved to some place in cali as soon as they are stable enough for a transfer and i hope that it's soon!

Wow, that's horrible.

yeah, ilanac13, my pastor was severely burned a couple years ago (just on his hand) went to the same hospital and the problem is watching for infection. So moving them is tricky. Just pray or send 'juju' whatever is higher than you in your life to them.

that's horrible news.

OMG, that's horrible news! They're lucky to be alive.

Very sad. Condolences to those who have lost family members, and I hope Travis and DC AM make a full recovery. God, burns...how awful.

That's terrible! Gee,I hope they'e ok!

OMGOSH! :'( really sad indeed!!!!!

Oh my God, that is SOOO terrible I'm so sad, I love Travis Barker and DJ AM. I really hope they get better, Travis has three kids that he loves and adores. I heard his ex-wife, Shanna, rushed to his side after hearing about the accident.

I can't believe the four other people on the plane died R.I.P.

Oh my God. Everyone else was killed? How horrible. My thoughts are with them.

I really like Travis Barker, he's a good man and good dad. I hope he and DJ AM will be ok.

Wow..just tragic.

Weird thing is, I live about two miles from the crash site, and was up at that time of night and didn't hear any emergency services sirens or anything. They'll be taken really good care of though, the Augusta burn center is one of the best in the region.

In this case, I don't know whether it would be worse to be a severely burned survivor or just dead. This is horrible and horrifying in so many ways. I can't imagine what life will be like, emotionally and physically, for Adam and Travis, as well as for the loved ones of the deceased. Wow.

this is all so terrible... i really hope that they're going to be ok. i'm so sorry for those who lost their lives....

I made a blog so you guys can have all the details reported by the local news where it happened... it was just updated at 12:33pm (as I can't stand speculation...)
Travis is my favorite musician.

I felt so sick when I just read this terrible news ! broken bones and loosing a limb is one thing but to have a major burn injury is another story all the pain thier going to have endure plus the scars
I hope to god DJ burn injury to his face wouldn,t rewining his carrer travis can hide is scars with clothing but to the face is completely different
ALL MY PRAYEERS GOES TOWARS EVERYONE TRAVIS DJ AND EVERONES FAMILY THAT DIED

Mesayme - I love Travis too, and thank you for all your updates and the address to the hospital.

I really do no know much about DJ and Travis, but I just have to drop by and say my well wishes to both of them and their families. This is horrible.

Such sad news. I wonder how Nicole is taking it? It's always weird when something happens to an ex.

Face burns can be really dangerous because there is so much swelling and risk of infection, it's close to the brain and impacts the respiratory system. These guys have a long fight ahead.

I've noticed that reports keep saying they expect Travis to survive, but haven't seen any reference to DJ AM's chances. (Just my observation, I don't want to start any rumors.) Burns are one of the most painful injuries you can have. Jet fuel burns in open air at over 500 degrees, so these may be very deep burns.

may our thoughts and prayers be with them and their families in this trying time. i love travis and hope him and dj am will be ok. how sad!!!

Im extremely saddened by this news. I saw this earlier, and at first it didn't hit me. travis was in my favorite band Blink 182, and you never think things like this would happen to anybody. i pray for their speedy recovery. i can't imagine the pain they went through and still going through. those 2 are fighters tho. can't believe 4 out of 6 are dead!

very sad....even sadder is that they have to live this out in front of the whole world....but that what you get when you're famous.....my thoughts to family and friends of that plane crash

So sad. Really tragic. I'm so sorry for the pain they will both be in for while both physically and mentally. I hope they find strength through each-other and through the many "Positive Vibes" being sent their way.

This is very tragic and of course eye-openng when it happens to famous people. It brings back memories to me when the music world lost Aaliyah and her video crew and friends. She was a very talented singer and I remember how it really saddened me. Hopefully many of the reports are not true (maybe overly negative) and the two survivors will be able to heal quickly. It makes me respect Shana Moakler that much more to hear she was immediately by his side.

omg!! i hope they weren't burned too severely! this is so sad

So very sad and my prayers to them and their families.

Wow such sad news

YAHOO

4 killed in SC plane crash; drummer, DJ injured

WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Hours after performing for thousands of South Carolina college students, former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity DJ AM were critically injured in a fiery Learjet crash that killed four people, authorities said Saturday.

Officials said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane hurtled off the end of a runway and crashed through antennas and a fence. It came to rest on an embankment across a five-lane highway and was engulfed in flames, said Debbie Hersman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board.

Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits said.

Two other passengers — Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif., and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles — died, as did pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif., and co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, according to the county coroner. Baker was an assistant to Barker and Still was a security guard for the musician.

The plane was headed for Van Nuys, Calif. It is owned by Global Exec Aviation, a California-based charter company, and was certified to operate last year, Hersman said. The company said it had no immediate comment.

At the crash site Saturday, the air was still heavy with the odor of jet fuel. A trail of black soot led off a runway. The nose of the aircraft was gone and the roof was missing from two-thirds of the charred plane.

"It's absolutely terrible and tragic," Columbia Mayor Bob Coble said.

Barker and Goldstein had performed together under the name TRVSDJ-AM at a free concert in Columbia on Friday night. Event sponsor T-Mobile said their hourlong set ended at about 7:15 p.m.

The show, which included performances by former Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell and singer Gavin DeGraw, drew 10,000 people into the streets of Five Points, the neighborhood near the University of South Carolina, Coble said.

Peter Kastis, Farrell's manager, said he and Farrell didn't find out about the crash until they arrived at the airport Saturday morning to find it closed.

"I just hugged them hello less than 24 hours ago. I wish I could hug them now," Kastis said.

One concertgoer said TRVSDJ-AM's performance was unique and different.

"It was literally one of the best shows I've ever seen," said Brett Flashnick, a freelance photographer who works for The Associated Press and attended the concert for a local newspaper.

Barker, 32, was one of the more colorful members of the multiplatinum-selling punk rock band Blink-182, whose biggest album was 1999's CD "Enema of the State," which sold more than five million copies in the United States alone.

After Blink-182 disbanded in 2005, Barker went on to form the rock band ( 44) — pronounced "plus forty-four." He also starred in the MTV reality series "Meet the Barkers" with former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, to whom he was married at the time. The show documented the former couple's lavish wedding and life. Their later split, reconciliation and subsequent break up made them tabloid favorites.

Goldstein is a popular DJ for hire who at one time was engaged to Nicole Richie.

He spun a mix of hip-hop and dance beats for the hottest nightclubs and had a string of dates set up for the next few weeks. He reached the peak of his celebrity perhaps during his highly publicized romance with Richie a few years ago.

DJ AM also dated singer/actress Mandy Moore, and while he became a gossip favorite for his romances, he drew respect from music aficionados for his DJ skills.

Barker and Goldstein performed as part of the house band at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.
